Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S., and research shows it may be connected to brain tumors. A 2023 study found that women with meningioma, the most common primary brain tumor, had significantly higher odds of also being diagnosed with breast cancer. Researchers are still working to understand why.
If you're navigating both, Brain Tumor Companion is here, and we support you. 🩶

What a weekend. We returned to Phoenix for the HFC 5k, the same race where we honored our dear BTCompanion Maki back in 2022. She was with us in every step in spirit. 🪽

It started with a little Brain Tumor Companion dinner the night before, a triple date with Jennifer, Pauline, and their partners. Victoria, Jen, Dawn & their loved ones caught up with us at the event. So many hugs & quality time that was long overdue.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out, walked, ran, cheered, & showed up for this community. It was truly amazing. Our hearts are full. 🩶

This is what BTComoanion is all about! 🙌🏽🧠🩶🫂
